    Wow

    LOL Bubba....we will get some benefits later.... Welcome back tjet. M
  2. Congrats guys. The Admin staff picked a good group of guys who are well rounded. As farr as the insurance.....I ask for fleet rates on gas..... M
  3. Thanks folks, first day on new job. Head spinning trying to remember all that was said about what is where and how things are done. So far so good. M
  4. I am looking around there. I will post back if I find it.
  5. Hey guys, about a year ago I came across some online Microsoft training courses. I don't remember where it was exactly. It was through MS. I can't find it now. I do remember I had to register.....you guessed it I lost it. Anyone know what/where I'm talking about. M
  6. I did but it still shows the boss's name on the user folders. i want to have mine not hers.
  7. Googled the reg hack. I created a new user, will try to copy setting over. I setup email and don't want to re import 400+ email. M
  8. I got a laptop for work. It has a fressh install of Vista on it. How can I go about removing the old user info from ir, registered user, and what not. The user folders has the original users name. Not so bad but bothersome. Can I create a new user, pull my downloads over, delete original user? Both are admin for now. M
  9. All info I get on the computer is that is runs 2700 or 3200. The ram in it now is 2700. For some reason his machine will not take it. Mine did, but the laptop I have runs at a slower bus.
  10. I ordered the ram from newegg. I am looking @ this ram. M

    Pierce!

    He is alive...he pokes his head in every now and again. Do the BT chat, that is your best chance.
  12. My friend bought 1 gig of ram, 512x2. The memory does not show the correct amount. I swapped slots / mixed old and new / old and new in different slots...never the correct amount. I used an eraser to clean the pins on the new ram. if one 512 is installed it shows as 192 in the BIOS. One 256 and one 512 shows 448. Two 256 or two 512 shows 448 in the BIOS. Computer info: Sony Viao PCG K25 Factor RAM: 256 X 2 Total 512 onboard Infineon HYS64D32020GDL-6-C PC2700 DDR 333 CL 2.5 New RAM: 512 X 2 Total 1 Gig Crucial CT6464X335.8TDY What did I miss? Will try them in my machine to rule out bad ram. M

    A First For Me

    I was not due to start work until Monday, I got a call last night to see if I can go to Dallas, TX for a training class on this Wednesday. I jumped on it. Hotel and class are paid for and I will be well reimbursed for the mileage. I leave this afternoon to be back Wednesday night. It is about 6 hours from my home to Dallas. Guess I need to throw some mp3 cds in the truck for this trip. It is all working out for the best. The wife may come, she is undecided. the kids are in their early teens so they can hang out at a friends house for a couple nights. M
  18. I am thinking along those lines and just do a clean install. I just don't want to do it and it show its ugly head again.
  19. Had the compressor fan go out on my unit a few years back. I rigged a water sprinkler to mist water on the outside coils. The heat was 90+ outside and I had the inside down to 70. I live in a mobile home so you know it is not the most energy efficient home. This happened to me about 8-10 years back when I worked in the Gulf of Mexico, did the same thing. The office could not get us a tech or parts for 2 weeks. Being on a steel boat in the summer it gets hot quick. We actually forgot about the unit being down until the tech showed up. He did freak when he seen we were keeping the system cool w
  20. XP Home, 512 ram, ??cpu?? I got a call from a friend, he has a Sony Viao Laptop. It will get hung in a reboot loop. It gets to the black screen to boot to safe mode, and what not. The only way it will load in to windows is to select Last known good config. I had him try safe mode, safe mode with networking and Normally. Each would get him looping. But it is not on every shut down or every reboot that this happens. I will pop up a blue error screen but not long enough to see the error, only maybe 2 seconds. Any suggestion on where to look? I will be in Dallas tomorrow evening will be back home
  21. Try running ccleaner and cleanup. they will clean all cookies. Log of then log back on, got to myyahoo first then check the cookies folder. this should help sort which cookies are from myyahoo.com. M
  22. I haqve this board I have to RMA. If you are looking to upgrade ram we can work something out. Shane knows what he is talking about, and he is quick to respond, he will keep you on the straight and narrow. M
  23. I am in the habit of usint ctrl + enter to auto fill the www. and the .com ctrl + shift for www. .net M
  24. I have had no issues with "piggy backing" HDD to do backups and recovery. I have used Kill Disk to wipe data from the drive, then use XP format it from the disk management window. This way no need to install the complete OS, after all XP does use a number of GIGS of space. M
